In some regions of Germany, beer wasn’t traditionally as common as you might expect. By watering down wine, you get a beverage with a similar alcohol content like beer which you can drink in similar contexts - for example, it’s not a great idea to drink undiluted wine when you’re sitting outside on a hot summer day
You can mix carbonated water and wine - that’s called Weinschorle in German
Guess schlorle means something awful ;-) /jk
Why do you do it? To have a less strong beverage?
As far as I know, yes.

Yay new (german compound) word
Ah, you mean a Deutschkompoundenwordkopf.
